Bloodlines Quests

Incompatibility===============

1. There is a CONFLICT with Toaster's Companion Share and Recruit mods. This conflict prevents important BLOODLINES dialogue from being displayed. I have tried a fix in Version 5, but will report this as a conflict until I get feedback that it is resolved.

2. There is a conflict with Servants of the Dawn which prevents BLOODLINES from starting as expected. SOTD alters the players champion status, which is a prerequisite for this mods beginning.

WORK AROUND: Open console and type Setstage VHQ000 10 then go to Verona Bay and talk to an NPC Called Salvo Harding.

LOAD ORDER ADVICE=================Vorians offers some advice regarding load order for those using Unique Landscapes and Bloodlines which I've edited from the full post on the TESource forum

Some load order advice for Verona House: Bloodlines and the Unique Landscapes mods...

Load all UL mods after BLOODLINES,except for Lush Woodlands and the Lost Coast,which should load BEFORE BLOODLINES.

Following are the compatibility problems I am aware:

Chorrol Hinterland - BLOODLINES adds a house with a vegetable garden within the walls of Chorrol. The land textures (path to house, soil for vegetables) will be lost if VHB is loaded before CH. No other issues. But if VHB loads AFTER CH, there will be land tears.

Imperial Isle - VHB adds a house to the Waterfront wall (beside the pirate ship), II adds a tree to this spot, which now sticks out of the walls. No other issues.

Lush Woodlands - VHB adds a town right on the eastern edge of LW. If LW loads last, there will be land tears and loss of land textures to the western edge of town. If VHB loads last, I believe there will be no land tears. VHB also changes a number of other cells throughout LW, I believe there should be no conflict, but it's possible some LW objects (trees, rocks) may be floating, if VHB changes landheight in this area. Also land textures from LW may be lost in some cells, but I doubt it would be noticable.

Lost Coast - VHB adds a ruin at the northern end of LC, up on the slope, LC adds a burned out village at the bottom of the slope. If LC loads last, parts of the VHB ruin will be floating, and there will be slight land tears just north of the ruin. If VHB loads last, there will be large land tears through the burned out village, loss of land textures to the village, and half the village will be deep beneath the landheight. Since the VHB location is quest related, I recommend having VHB load last to ensure access to the ruin.

Other UL mods also share cells with VHB, but I saw no obvious conflicts (with the ULs loaded last).

I plan to make a compatibility fix (an additional ESP) to fix the land for the Lost Coast and VHB.

Many thanks to him for his efforts and to McCoy for reporting some new issues with Share and Recruit.

Known Issues or Bugs====================

1. At the end of Auger Neice (first quest) Harding sometimes fails to leave for Skingrad. If you return to his house and speak again this usually bumps him into action. It's an OB AI issue.

2. In the Hiring Section at the end Ossuna sometimes gets 'trapped' at way on the way to the house. If you go find her and follow her she will make it to the house.

Fixes conflict with Origins of the Mages Guild. Can now be loaded in any order.Fixes conflict with Apachii Goddess Store.(Load Apachii after Bloodlines)Fixes 'Rent' payment loop.Restores lost containers to SI version.
